Clothing is expression without explanation. It influences how you're seen and how you see yourself. Patterns of taste, mood, discipline, excess, and restraint repeat across time and culture. This is our guide to making that language visible.

Drake's

Drake’s is a London-based haberdashery specializing in soft tailoring and artisanal accessories. Its aesthetic blends traditional British craftsmanship with Ivy League influences. The brand represents a subculture of relaxed elegance, prioritizing timeless construction and expressive patterns over transient trends in contemporary menswear.

History

Michael Drake, Jeremy Hull, and Isabel Dickson founded the company in 1977 in East London. Initially, the firm produced handmade ties and pocket squares for high-end boutiques. In 2010, Mark Cho and Michael Hill acquired the brand, expanding it into a full ready-to-wear label. Drake’s is significant for preserving traditional manufacturing techniques while modernizing the classic British silhouette. It remains a central figure in the global revival of heritage-focused tailoring.
